The first illustration I submit here hu hu hu *^-^*
I wanted to make the cover of a friend Sci-Fi novel (kinda space-opera). My idea at the beginning was to make a "Pulp"-like cover but it was at the beginning..now..a little bit different :p . There will be only 3 characters and a simple background (3 moons glowing and some mountains).
Here's the first character, a kinda rebel warrior, the concept sketch is very messy 'coz I made some tweaks in Photoshop, sorry about that.
Comments and feedback are REALLY welcome !! =)

I like the texture work and the shadows, the pic's got a nice feel to it..
sorta like preparing for an extremely tough battle..

anatomic detail like fingers and knees i would still work on , they don't
seem right to me

ThX a lot Goliath. For the crumbled man..it will took place not in the same level than the 2 girls and I wanted to accentuate it's "evilish" side and to detach him from the 2 others characters. (That's why I make him dissappear a little too)...:)
